Hi all,
I've just made the move to 64-bit X1 and can't seem to get Sound Forge to open a file from within X1.  If I select an audio clip and then click on my Sound Forge link in the Utilities menu, I get the "Cannot create process" dialog box popping up

It'll take a bit of Registry editing.

The 64 bit version of SONAR doesn't really install the SF link properly.

Here's the registry key and what it should look like.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\Tools Menu\Sound Forge 10]
"exePath"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Sony\\Sound Forge Pro 10.0\\forge100.exe"
"MenuText"="&Sound Forge 10"
"StatusBarText"="Run Sound Forge 10"
"Type"="WaveEditor"

check your registry entry and edit to suit or
Edit the above text to fit your circumstances, then save as sf.reg Double click it and it will automatically add it to your tools/Utility menu.

I have X3d 64, with the above registry key, but for Sound Forge 11. The link in the registry works by itself in the command line and "Sound Forge 11" shows up in the Utilities menu, but I still get "Cannot Create Process". Any ideas?

I fixed it, but for some reason I had Sound Forge set to have to run as administrator, so Sonar had to also be set the same way or it couldn't launch Sound Forge. I may need to re-install Sound Forge (not as administrator).

Sonar needs to run as Administrator for a variety of reasons so don't change that setting.
